Problems with Lead Pulling? How our Dog Training in Hampshire Can Help

Does your dog turn walks into a tug-of-war? You’re not the only one. Pulling on the lead is one of the most common issues we deal with at Canine Kids. It’s not only frustrating, if a dog is strong enough, it can lead to accidents. This issue also means walks feel like a chore, instead of one of the most enjoyable parts of owning a dog.

 

But the good news? With the right training, you can wave goodbye to this issue. 

 

At Canine Kids, we specialise in positive, reward-based dog training across Surrey and Hampshire. Whether you’ve got an exuberant puppy or an older rescue dog, we’ll help you teach them how to walk like a Krufts candidate on their lead. 

 

Why do dogs pull on the lead?

 

Put simply, they do it because it works. When a puppy wants to plow ahead, and pulling gets them there faster—they will do it, until it doesn’t work anymore. They’re not being naughty; they just haven’t been shown what’s expected of them. That’s where the right training makes all the difference.

 

How professional training helps

 

In our training classes in Surrey and Hampshire, we focus on building good habits from the ground up. We’ll show you how to reward calm behaviour, use timing and consistency to your advantage, and set your dog up for success.

 

Our trainers don’t use harsh methods or quick fixes. Instead, we help your dog understand that walking beside you—without pulling—leads to good things. This creates a calm, focused dog who enjoys the walk as much as you do.

 

Training tailored to your dog

 

Every dog is different. Some pull because they’re excited, others out of nervousness or habit. That’s why our training is tailored to your dog’s needs, age, and temperament. Whether you’re in Guildford, Farnham, Fleet or surrounding areas, our classes offer a friendly, supportive environment.

 

Start enjoying your walks together

 

Pulling on the lead doesn’t have to be permanent. With patience, consistency, and the right guidance, you can turn things around. At Canine Kids, we’ll help you build a better connection with your dog—and bring the joy back to your walks.
